Features:

Register BP as RP dependency

It is now possible to register the BP as a RP dependency over bridge.'s UI.

---

Optional Merge Argument

You can now configure how custom components get merged into the main entity file over a third argument for the create function. Thanks to @Joeyrsp for implementing this new feature.

---

Better Compiler Plugin Installation

Users now get informed that they need to edit the compiler config for compiler plugins to have an effect. Additionally, installed compiler plugins show the plugin name inside of the extension UI.

---

Default Author Setting

You can now configure a default author to be filled in whenever you create a new project.

---

Asset Previews (Experimental)

You can now generate previews of your models with one click. Simply open the model preview and click on "Asset Preview" inside of the tab action bar. We are still looking to improve this feature by allowing users to configure the rendering process (quality, watermark, title etc.).

---

Preset Inputs

Preset authors can now allow file inputs to accept multiple files. Thanks to @jasonjgardner for implementing this new capability. Additionally, option inputs can now fetch their available options from the lightning cache.

Better External File Support

External files are files that do not belong to the current project. They are special because they shouldn't get compiled upon saving and we do not even know the full file path of them. We only have the file name and file content to determine the file type of such a file. With the new file type guessing capability in v2.1 (based on the available data), we were able to improve the experience while editing external files considerably already. With v2.1.3, external files also properly support dynamic auto-completions & dynamic file validations.
